Another Windy Wednesday

It was a bit warmer Wednesday morning, but there was a strong wind.

I took my now oversized clothes and the books to the Goodwill at lunch. I walked around, looking for apothecary jars, but of course there were none. I thought somebody might not know what they were and donate them but, no.

I did meet a guy who asked me if I had a spinal fusion (was the brace or the rolling walker the give away?) He said his wife just had her second (the first one didn’t heal right) and I would probably run into her. Sure enough, I did, so I asked her if she wanted to race.

We chatted for a while about our operations and then she asked me my name. I said, “John.” So, she took out a notebook from her purse and wrote it down. I asked her what she was doing and she said so many people had prayed for her, she now keeps a list of people to pray for to pay it forward (or "pray it forward"). Nice thought.

I was late getting home from work, as I got stopped by a train at the Levan tracks, just after leaving. It had three locomotives (uh-oh), so to amuse myself (I had nothing better to do), I counted the cars. There were 89! Sure enough, although I raced, I got stopped again at the Inkster tracks by the same train (I always do). I wondered again (for the millionth time) why I didn’t go one mile further and get off at Beech Daly, where the road goes under the tracks (I never do).

I was tired, o I didn’t do too much at home. The cats had barfed on the bed, so I did do one load of laundry. I called B___ after 7:00 PM on my new cell phone so he could put the number in his. I made a meatloaf sandwich for dinner.

I started dozing around 8:30 PM, watching some TV. My Brother Jim woke me up after 9:00, to see how I was doing and to tell me he has another potential buyer for the cottage. It seems they want to buy it with the all furniture and he asked if there was anything I really wanted. I said I thought I would like one of the porch rockers, but had no idea where I would put it, so he shouldn't make it a deal-breaker. He said he’d let me know how it turned out.

I tried watching TV again (9:30 PM seemed a bit early to go to bed) but I started dozing again, so I shut everything off and went to bed around 10:00.
